WIP Wednesday - I Survived!

I made it through the final show and while it was a good show, I still have SO MUCH left over! I'm running a sale in my FB group to try to find good homes for more of it (and get some storage space back). I forgot how much time it takes to get pictures and list everything, so I haven't even had a chance to start working on the orders again...but tonight should be back at it! If I can get all 4 of the orders finished (not counting the etsy one that just came in) before the middle of December, I won't know what to do with myself. Maybe I'll finally organize/clean the craft studio...or my house... or catch up on sleep....

One of the bigger lanterns, still available!

WIP Monday - Less Than One Week To Go!

 It seems like it was just yesterday that I was thinking I had plenty of time to prepare for the next show...and now it's less than a week away! I have a GIANT list of things I need to finish up this week, good thing I'm on vacation! I have a stack of towel hoods that need assembled into hooded towels, a pile of blankets ready to be embroidered, doodle dolls that need stuffed, sewed shut and packaged, the flat doodle dolls that need cut out and packaged, plus anything else I can squeeze in! Looks like a good time to make sure all my machines are oiled with new needles! 

Just a small sample of the many things I'm prepping!

Wizardry Color The One With MMK - Longshore Custom Fabric/Sincerely Jen

I really enjoy the challenge of picking a perfect pattern to go with the strike fabric that arrives at my house. This gorgeous Wizardry Color fabric is running for preorder at Longshore Custom Fabric, and I needed to find something that took a fat half (or less) of fabric AND would really show it off!  This is the canvas version, so it has a little more thickness and is more sturdy than the usual woven I work with. The pattern I ended up going with is "The One With More Me Know" from Sincerely Jen, and it was originally an exclusive created to go with a fun box of curated fabric and supplies from More Me Know! I still haven't made it with the original supplies, but after seeing how fast and fun it is, I will be making it again!

Somewhat structured, stood up nicely!

WIP Wednesday - Can We Panic Yet?

We have a month and 2 weeks until Christmas, so I think it's a perfect time to start panicking! Er, I mean focusing on getting everything done and not totally freaking out that we are already in week 2 of November...

Just need the time to do a bunch more of the adorable stockings and blankets!
